PHOTOS: London's Iconic Double Decker Bus Is Getting A Makeover

Here we have London's new hybrid buses, expected to roll out in the British capital next year. The futuristic model, courtesy of designer Thomas Heaterwick, combines sleek curves with inspiration from some classic London buses from the past.

It's designed to speed up boarding and exiting and should cut minutes off commutes and hopping around town. But, despite this, it's still a big iconic red double-decker bus.
